A performing arts concert about the mythical character Orlando. And a tribute to the great European minds Ludovico Ariosto and Virginia Woolf.
Orlando, a knight and traveller, crosses the seas several times and finally returns as a woman. His/her story is performed in 12 songs, intermezzi and videos.
ORLANDO TRIP is simultaneously a spoken performance, a concert and a rush of images. Fox On Ice creates the suggestion of an effortless transition between stage and film, humans and landscape, man and woman. It is the suggestion of a departure, a journey of discovery into an unknown land. In this sequence of transformations, a poetic ego liquefies, celebrating the dual gender of the soul and promising one thing above all: freedom.
ORLANDO TRIP has been invited at international theatres and festivals in Türkiye, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Romania, Greece, Slovenia, Israel, Sri Lanka, Tunisia, Bulgaria, Italy, Portugal, Canada, US and Austria.
